MLS commissioner Don Garber says the next round of expansion could be the 'final' one

The league is set to go to 28 teams, but it may stop there.

Major League Soccer is on the come up. Expansion fees are at an all-time high, and it's because the league can afford to be choosy. After two decades of MLS owners losing hundreds of millions of dollars, the league has stabilized and valuations have skyrocketed. There are a number of prospective buyers hoping to get a piece of the league's next expansion, which will take the league to 28 teams. At that point, the league may stop expansion altogether.

MLS commissioner Don Garber told Forbes that the move to 28 teams "could be the final round of expansion for Major League Soccer.”

The league is currently at 20 teams, with two more set to join next year and then another in 2018. A Miami club has been granted an expansion franchise as well. MLS has committed to going to 28 teams too, although they haven't awarded any of those yet. Sacramento and St. Louis are among the front-runners right now.
